Production Suitsupply Project: Sourcing plan Brand: Suitsupply

In this project I researched the Suitsupply production process. During this project I gained a lot of knowledge about a production process and which steps are involved.

As a result, I have learned a lot and I understand a lot better what is involved in a production process.

Understanding how a brand’s supply chain works is very valuable. I have a better insight the time each step takes and the attention that the product needs.

Suitsupply communication strategy Project: Production Plan Brand: Suitsupply

In this project I researched the brand Suitsupply. My group and I discovered that Suitsupply is not transparent and do not communicate clearly with their consumers both on social media and on their website. We decided to make a communication plan.

This resulted in a new way of communicating. More details were shown in the social media posts to keep the followers informed, about the next stepts of the brand.

On the website the customer can find more information about the brand and about the new Suitsupply collection.

So the brand can build a bond with the consumer and include them in the growth of the brand. By offering this personal attention, the consumer can read up on it so that they can make a well-considered choice for Suitsupply and which suit they want to purchase.

STRATEGIC ADVICE ARMANI Project: Strategic Plan Brand: The Armani Group

During this project, my group and I researched the company The Armani group. We first did an internal and external analysis to get to know the company better. We then discovered various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the brand. This gave us enough information to come up with a strategy for the brand.

The aim of the assignment was to make Armani future-proof by devising and developing strategic options.

We have come up with strategic advice to create innovative materials for Armani in collaboration with universities. Training to employees plays a major role in this so that they can develop themselves. Innovation, quality and sustainability are among the most important values of the advice.

confessies: mijn positie binnen de witte norm Project: Making a film. Where personal becomes political.

For the minor Cultural Diversity, I made a film about the white standard within the Dutch society. The film is called ‘‘Confessies: mijn positie binnen de witte norm.’’ Making this I wanted to reflect critically on my position within the white standard within Dutch society. But also wanted to learn from different perspectives. That’s why we asked twelve people to confess and reflect on their position.

I worked in a small group to create this film, but working together with my groupmates was really difficult. They didn’t put much effort into the project. So I edited the whole film, came up with the concept, and created our own ‘‘confession-booth’’, using sheets, my own room lights, own camera, and own microphone.

Watch the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G04R3yXvwW4 Portfolio

I created a photography series about the “bicycles impact on comfort’’ in which I chose the POV framing. The series are more an experience than still photos.

het geweten is ongeweten Project: Short film

‘‘Het geweten is ongeweten’’ are two short films of just over a minute. The films are about the search for the position of an individual in his life. It takes place in two specific environments. Part 1 is in nature and part 2 in the city. We are really looking for our role in society and what suits us best, but secretly we already know a lot about ourselves.

The films can be watched through the links on the next page.
